……

Dangtu County, Taiping Province.

The 200,000-strong army of the imperial court was under the ships prepared in advance by the local county order.

Descend the Huai River.

For a time, thousands of warships were densely packed on the river.

Form a magnificent situation of thousands of miles of ship.

Such a scale has already frightened the people on both sides of the strait.

There are even some elderly people who fall to their knees.

Exclaim that the once majestic Ming is back!

Zhao Zhilong, the commander who watched it, was extremely satisfied.

The imperial court's large-scale crusade against the rebels this time, in addition to dealing with the rebels, is also to let the people of the world or the south see the power of the Ming army!

In order to deter those careerists who are about to move, and tell them that Daming still has the strength!

Whoever dares to plot against him will raise a great army to fight against him!

A day later.

"Dashuai, there is Wuhu ahead."

Just when Zhao Zhilong stood majestically at the bow of the boat and enjoyed the fearful eyes of the people on both shores.

Deputy General Nan and Bo Fang Yiyuan reminded loudly at this time.

"Oh? Arrived so soon? ”

Zhao Zhilong was a little surprised, and then asked.

"I remember that this is the garrison of the Navy Division, right?"

"Exactly!"

Hearing the lieutenant general's reply, Zhao Zhilong suddenly remembered what the emperor had ordered him when he left.

……

"Zhilong, when you lead the army to Wuhu, you must enter Wuhu County."

"Wuhu County?"

"Isn't that the jurisdiction of Mr. Huang? Could it be that the imperial court let Huang Zongbing also fight for thieves with his ministers? ”

"No, your task is to beat the yellow dragonfly!"

"If you find that he has a heart of disobedience, you can arrest and return to Beijing!!"

！！！！

……

After thinking about things, Zhao Zhilong's thoughts returned to reality.

To tell the truth, this task given to him by the emperor did not exceed his expectations.

As early as when he mobilized the army, he had already heard the news of Huang Fei's disobedience to the orders of the imperial court in the court.

Now it is normal for the emperor to let him beat the yellow dragon.

After all, at this juncture of the war, Huang Fei's position is very important.

If he defected to the enemy, it would be a heavy blow to the Nanjing court.

But he didn't want to just do the beating.

It's hard to get out on a trip, so how can you not do something else?

Soon, the army docked in Wuhu County one after another under the order of Zhao Zhilong.

As early as when the Wuhu county commander learned that the imperial army was going to pass through Wuhu, he had already led the officials out of the city to greet him.

Those who went out of the city with him naturally also had Huang Fei, the chief soldier of the water division.

After a short time, Zhao Zhilong led his generals and personal soldiers to slowly walk down from the warship.

I saw Huang Fei and others waiting on the shore.

Hurriedly walked over with a smile on his face.

"Oh, this is the famous Huang Fei Huang General Soldier, he has really admired him for a long time."

"Your Majesty, but the capital praised you in front of the general~, when I saw it today, it really deserved its name!"

Listening to Zhao Zhilong's flattering words, Huang Fei was a little confused.

I don't understand why Zhao Zhilong was so enthusiastic when he came up.

But since people are so enthusiastic, he can't help but give face.

So Huang Fei also hurriedly walked up and praised Zhao Zhilong.

"Where is it, the humble position is just a small naval division commander, and where can it be compared to the Chengbo who is in the capital."

"You are a famous minister in front of Your Majesty, how can you be compared to a humble position............ This time, Xichengbo led a large army to crusade against the rebels, and I believe that he will be able to succeed and defeat the rebels in one fell swoop! ”

Zhao Zhilong listened to Huang Fei's flattering words at this time, even if he knew that this was a polite remark.

I couldn't help but hold my head high.

After all, what people say is the truth, can he not be happy?

At the same time, he also relaxed his vigilance against Huang Fei.

"Uncle Xicheng, this time we docked in Wuhu, but is there anything we need to do?"

After touting each other for a while, Huang Fei began to ask Zhao Zhilong's purpose.

"It's not a secret, there are indeed some, and my brother also knows that because the army set off in a hurry, he didn't bring too much baggage."

"Right now, we need some siege equipment and other baggage."

"I wonder if Brother Huang can provide us with some?"

Zhao Zhilong asked tentatively.

"Of course you can!"

Huang Fei agreed.

As he spoke, he patted his chest and said, "Isn't it just some siege equipment?" There are many lowly soldiers, Uncle is waiting, or he will be able to give it to you in a day! ”

"Good!"

"Then in that case, Ben Shuai has thanked Brother Huang here!"

"Where, where, Uncle Xicheng is too polite......"

"By the way, it just so happens that the younger brother has booked a good room in Tianxian Building today, I wonder if the uncle would like to enjoy the light?"

Huang Fei asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhilong's eyes suddenly lit up.

These two marching on the sea in the sky, although there are beauties he brought over to play, but they have long been a little tired of playing.

Now Huang Fei invited him to pick up the wind and wash the dust, which is exactly what he wants.

"Good! Since the virtuous brother is so hearted, then the old brother and I will be disrespectful. ”

As for the task that the emperor asked him to beat Huang Fei, after a few days of play, it was not too late to beat again.

After all, if you don't stretch out your hand and hit a smiling person, he can still give this face.

Anyway, Ning Guofu has already been captured, and I believe it will not be worse for him in the past two days.

"Hahahahaha, then brother, please?"

"Please!"

The two of them said as they walked towards the city with their shoulders hooked.

Seeing this, the officials standing in place also hurriedly pulled Fang Yiyuan and the others to the city.

……

In the evening, the dishes are over five flavors, and the wine is over three rounds.

The drunken Huang Fei and Zhao Zhilong each returned to their respective rooms with the two girls in their arms.

However, Huang Fei had just been helped back to the room.

opened his eyes directly, and then broke free from the support of the two women.

One sat down in a chair and took a sip of tea.

Then he said, "You two go down first."

Hearing this, the two women did not ask back.

Just saluted, and silently retreated.

Shortly after the two women stepped back.

A figure slowly walked out of the screen in the back hall.

"How's it going?"

"See Your Majesty!"

Seeing the comer, Huang Fei suddenly woke up.

Hurriedly got down on one knee and said.

"Zhao Zhilong is already drunk!"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure! I drank with him for two hours in a row, and I saw him drunk with my own eyes! ”

Seeing that Huang Fei was so convinced, Zhu Di didn't ask more.

Instead, he stepped forward and helped Huang Fei, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

patted him on the shoulder and said, "In this battle, you should be the first to take credit!"

"When we break Zhao Zhilong, you will be a new generation of Daming Guogong!!"

When Huang Fei heard the word Guogong, he immediately looked excited.

It's like taking an aphrodisiac, and I'm excited.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

After drawing a big cake for Huang Fei, Zhu Di ordered the follow-up.

"Now Zhao Zhilong and his subordinates are drunk, even if there are still some people who are not drunk."

"It doesn't hurt!"

"Tell me! Burn down the company camp! Attack the enemy at night! ”

"!!"

……

"What ??!!!"

"Huang Fei, you really want to rebel??!!"

When Zhao Zhilong heard this, he immediately looked at Huang Fei with a frightened expression.

He couldn't believe that Huang Fei really rebelled!!

I thought that Huang Fei tied himself up, just because he might have discovered the meaning of the court to beat him.

That's why I tied myself up and wanted to blackmail the court.

I didn't expect it to be a rebellion!!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Zhilong was a little scared.

He was afraid that Huang Fei would kill him directly.

After all, he took over the emperor's task to teach Huang Fei a lesson.

But at the same time, Zhao Zhilong's head was also running rapidly.

At this life-and-death juncture, he felt that his brain was exceptionally clear at this moment.

Suddenly!

Zhao Zhilong seemed to have thought of something.

With a look of surprise, he asked, "Brother Huang, didn't you also take refuge in the rebel ...... King Yongming?! ”

"Huh?"

Huang Fei was gloating, ready to think about how to punish Zhao Zhilong.

As a result, as soon as he heard this, he looked at Zhao Zhilong's expression again.

A bad thought popped into his head.

Huang Fei opened his mouth and said with a slightly hesitant expression: "You won't ...... either"

"Yes! Yes!! Brother Huang!! ”

"I'm also a member of King Yongming!!"

Seeing Huang Fei's expression, Zhao Zhilong was immediately convinced that Huang Fei had indeed surrendered to Zhu Di.

Hurriedly nodded.

"Brother Huang, I have long since abandoned the darkness and turned to the light!"

"We are our own people!"

？？？？

（*・○・）？？？

I*********

"Wait! Wrong! You're lying to the old man, aren't you!! ”

At this time, Huang Fei seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly asked.

If Zhao Zhilong was his own person, how could King Yongming find himself to ambush him.

Just let Zhao Zhilong lead the army to defect.

Why bother attacking the camp?

So Zhao Zhilong is lying to him!

Thinking of this possibility, Huang Fei was immediately unhappy.

He was the future prince of the Ming Dynasty, and today he was almost deceived by such waste, this is black history!

It seems that this person can't stay!

"Nope! Absolutely not! Brother Huang! ”

Zhao Zhilong looked at Huang Fei's increasingly murderous eyes, and hurriedly excused.

"I'm really a member of the King of Yongming!!"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask King Yongming!!"

"He knew I had already taken refuge in him!"

With this sworn look, Huang Fei was a little hesitant to look at it.

How did he feel that this Zhao Zhilong might have really surrendered to King Yongming.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked Your Majesty.

You know, Your Majesty will be back later.

Whether it was true or not, he would know as soon as he asked.

This kind of result, no matter how stupid Zhao Zhilong is, it is impossible not to know.

Could it be that he is really his own person???

But if you are your own person, how can you explain that Your Majesty wants to raid him?

In order to put on a show for Nanjing???

So that Zhao Zhilong can continue to hide? But since Zhao Zhilong was defeated, it was basically impossible to be reinstated.

Everyone knows this truth.

The more Huang Fei thought about it, the more he felt his head explode.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure out what this situation was.

He simply didn't want to.

Wait for Zhu Di to come back and ask for it.

As for Zhao Zhilong, well...... don't do it yet.

lest you be sure that it is your own person.

When the time comes, it will be embarrassing to work together again.

And Zhu Di didn't let Huang Fei wait longer, a quarter of an hour later.

Zhu Di returned with Xu Jiaying, Ding Ruzhang and others.

As soon as he entered the door, Huang Fei greeted him.

told Zhu Di about his conversation with Zhao Zhilong just now.

When listening to Zhao Zhilong say that he had already taken refuge in himself, Zhu Di raised his eyebrows.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that he has never received the allegiance of Zhao Zhilong.

It is necessary to refute it.

But I suddenly remembered the basket of anonymous letters I received a few days ago.

The people above seem to say allegiance to themselves, but they don't write their names.

Could it be that this Zhao Zhilong is one of them?

Although he thought so in his heart, Zhu Di didn't say it.

just said to Huang Fei: "Take me to meet Zhao Zhilong."

Then he whispered a few words to Wei Er beside him.

After hearing this, Wei Er nodded, and hurriedly walked towards the backyard.

And Zhu Di asked Huang Fei to lead the way to the place where Zhao Zhilong was imprisoned.

After walking for a few minutes.

Zhu Di finally came to Zhao Zhilong.

As soon as he came in, Zhu Di didn't hesitate, and asked directly.

"You were one of the anonymous letters you wrote to me some time ago?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty! ”

"The last general has taken refuge in you early!"

Seeing Zhu Di ask about this, Zhao Zhilong immediately nodded frantically.

"Okay, I'll have someone go to get the letter, wait a while."

Zhu Di replied lightly.

And Zhao Zhilong also understood that Zhu Di wanted him to point out which one he wrote.

By the way, I would like to confirm that I wrote it myself.

The conversation between Zhu Di and Zhao Zhilong also made Huang Fei on the side understand something.

That is, many people in the capital have written letters of allegiance to Zhu Di.

It's just that they are cunning and don't write their names.

It's trying to eat both!

is worthy of being an official in the capital, and there is nothing else, but the ability to stand in line to save his life is not small.

Today, he learned another trick, it turns out that standing in line can still do this.

At the same time as Huang Fei was thinking, Wei Er and a soldier also walked over with a basket of letters.

Seeing this, Zhu Di was not silent and asked.

"Which one is the letter you wrote? What are the characteristics? ”

"The ugliest word!"

“……”

Very good, it seems that you still have self-knowledge.

Zhu Di waved his hand for Wei Er to carry the basket over, and according to his memory, he quickly found the ugliest one in a pile of letters.

After opening it and looking at it, he said to Zhao Zhilong.

"Since you said this is yours, what are you saying about the letter?"

Zhao Zhilong immediately turned his brain quickly.

Thinking about the letters he asked his cronies to write.

"Respectfully, please Saint Ann, now the puppet court should be established, the country is in trouble, and I have to serve ......"

After Zhao Zhilong said the first two sentences, Zhu Di had already determined that this was indeed written by Zhao Zhilong.

But he still let Zhao Zhilong continue to carry it.

However, as soon as Zhao Zhilong said the previous paragraph, he couldn't go on for a moment.

"Go on? Why don't you say it? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general forgot ......"

“……”

It's you!

Seeing this situation, Zhu Di did not continue to embarrass Zhao Zhilong.

Let people loosen it.

He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Welcome back to Daming, General Zhao."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhilong knelt on the ground and replied with his head bowed.

In fact, he also knows that this method is a bit shameless.

But in order to survive, he could only use it.

Anyway, he is not the only one who has done this, looking at the appearance of that basket, it is estimated that half of the officials in the capital have done this.

And he's not an enemy, he's just a different boss.

After all, he is still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty.
